AI & LLM Security Assessment Services in Dubai

Test how your AI application behaves when prompts, retrieved content, identities, tools and downstream systems are deliberately misused—not only when users follow the expected path.

Dubaitech assesses the application around the model, including RAG data, agent permissions, APIs, plugins, output handling, logging and software dependencies.

Test the complete AI application

Model safeguards are only one part of application security

An AI security assessment in the UAE examines how an LLM application can expose data, mishandle untrusted content or act beyond its intended authority. The effective attack surface includes prompts, retrieval sources, session boundaries, APIs, agent tools, output consumers and third-party components.

Dubaitech uses a risk-based test plan informed by the current OWASP Top 10 for LLM and GenAI Applications and the NIST AI RMF. These references guide coverage and reporting; they do not constitute OWASP or NIST certification.

When this service is useful

Customer or employee assistants that access internal knowledge or personal data

RAG applications connected to documents, vector stores or enterprise search

AI agents allowed to call APIs, plugins, workflows or business systems

Teams preparing an AI application for pilot, production release or a material integration change

Business outcomes

Security improvements that support responsible adoption

The outcome is a practical control and operating roadmap aligned to the systems, data and decision rights in scope.

Find risk across system boundaries

Test the joins between model, application, retrieval layer, identity, tools and downstream services where controls can fail.

Use evidence, not assumptions

Document reproducible test cases, affected components, preconditions and business impact instead of relying on a generic checklist.

Prioritize practical remediation

Separate architecture, authorization, data, validation and monitoring improvements into an actionable owner-based plan.

Confirm fixes through retesting

Re-run agreed findings after remediation to verify that the observed path is addressed without claiming universal model safety.

Service capabilities

A complete review across people, process and technology

The final scope is confirmed after discovery because available telemetry, integrations, access, licensing and business authority differ by organization.

Architecture and threat modeling

Map models, trust boundaries, prompts, data stores, identities, tools and downstream actions to build a relevant test plan.

Prompt injection testing

Assess direct and indirect prompt manipulation, instruction conflicts, untrusted content and attempts to influence privileged behavior.

Sensitive-data disclosure

Test whether prompts, outputs, retrieval, errors, session handling or system design reveal data outside the intended user context.

Insecure output handling

Review how model output reaches browsers, databases, file paths, code interpreters, workflows and other downstream components.

RAG and vector security

Assess document ingestion, metadata filtering, tenant separation, retrieval authorization, poisoning exposure and source provenance.

Authentication and tenant isolation

Test session controls, object-level authorization, role enforcement and separation between users, customers or departments.

AI agent permissions

Review tool scope, delegated credentials, human approval, transaction limits and whether the agent has excessive functionality or autonomy.

APIs, plugins and integrations

Assess input validation, authorization, secrets handling, rate limits and trust assumptions across connected services.

Supply-chain risk

Review model, library, dataset, embedding, plugin and service dependencies plus provenance, update and integrity controls.

Logging and monitoring

Evaluate security-relevant events, privacy-conscious evidence, abuse signals, alerting and the ability to investigate AI activity.

Suitable use cases

Where the assessment creates practical value

Start with the real business workflow and affected information, then select controls and testing that match the risk.

Enterprise knowledge assistants

Test authorization and disclosure paths when an assistant retrieves SharePoint, file, CRM or other internal content.

Customer-facing chat and search

Review prompt abuse, session separation, output rendering, privacy controls and integrations exposed to untrusted users.

Agentic workflows

Assess agents that create records, send messages, query systems or initiate actions through APIs and tools.

Custom RAG and model applications

Evaluate ingestion, retrieval, embeddings, data ownership, model gateways and application-specific control boundaries.

Delivery process

A controlled path from discovery to improvement

Each engagement sets scope, access, responsibilities, limitations and safe operating boundaries before technical work begins.

  1. STEP 1

    Scope and rules of engagement

    Confirm the application, environments, test accounts, data constraints, excluded actions and escalation contacts.

  2. STEP 2

    Architecture and threat review

    Map data flow, trust boundaries, identities, tools, retrieval components, dependencies and expected business behavior.

  3. STEP 3

    Manual and structured testing

    Exercise agreed abuse cases across prompts, authorization, RAG, agents, integrations, output handling and operational controls.

  4. STEP 4

    Evidence and remediation report

    Document reproducible findings, risk, affected components, limitations and prioritized technical recommendations.

  5. STEP 5

    Remediation support and retest

    Clarify fixes, review design changes and retest agreed findings after the application owner completes remediation.

Framework-aligned, not certified

Assessment coverage informed by OWASP GenAI and NIST AI RMF

OWASP’s 2025 LLM and GenAI risks include prompt injection, sensitive-information disclosure, supply-chain weaknesses, improper output handling, excessive agency and vector or embedding weaknesses. Dubaitech uses relevant categories to inform testing rather than treating them as a fixed certification checklist.

NIST AI RMF is a voluntary framework organized around governing, mapping, measuring and managing AI risk. Testing scope is adapted to the application, available access and business impact. Privacy-sensitive production data is avoided or minimized wherever practical, with test evidence handled under the agreed engagement rules.

Controls considered in the engagement

Authorized test scope and safe stopping conditions
Synthetic or minimized test data where practical
Least-privilege test accounts and isolated environments
Human approval for high-impact agent actions
Secure evidence handling and defined retention
Documented limitations and retest boundaries

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

It overlaps with application and API security testing but adds model-specific and agentic risks such as prompt injection, retrieval weaknesses, excessive agency and unsafe output flows. The exact scope depends on the application architecture.

No universal control guarantees that every prompt-injection attempt will fail. Risk is reduced through architecture, least privilege, separation of untrusted content, input and output controls, human approval and monitoring appropriate to the use case.

Yes, when included in scope. Testing can cover ingestion trust, metadata and authorization filters, tenant separation, retrieval behavior, document poisoning exposure and sensitive-data disclosure.

Yes. The review can assess tool permissions, delegated credentials, authorization, input validation, transaction limits, human approval and how manipulated model output affects downstream actions.

The preferred approach is to minimize production data and use approved test accounts, synthetic content or a staging environment where practical. Any permitted production testing and evidence handling must be explicitly agreed in the rules of engagement.

No. OWASP GenAI guidance and NIST AI RMF inform the assessment where relevant, but Dubaitech does not issue formal OWASP or NIST certification.

The report prioritizes findings and recommends remediation. Dubaitech can clarify the evidence and review proposed changes, then retest agreed findings after the application owner implements fixes.
